has promise of great usefulness. The
devoted little band at that place expect
to begin at once to build. The work
there has been under the care of the
Loveland pastor, Rev. G. E. johnson.
He has done well.
Morrow has put in set of new seats
and otherwise improved and beautified
their property at cost of about $500.
The new church at South Lebanon
that has dragged on through three yearl

long delayed by trying to pay for every

and arouse some enthusiasm by meani
of vigorous action. They hope to dedi'
cate this fall.

stitutional even the statute under which
the prohibitory ordinance was passed.
This for the present paralyzes the pro-
hibition in that place. In Hillsboro,
however, the ordinance is being enforced
with such vigor that there is no saloon
in the town. There were thirteen.

A writer calls attention to the osprey
pfumes worn by English ladies, and tells
how they are procured:
1.-THE long plumes, misnamed osprey
BY the dealers, are taken from the egrets
and smaller herons, who wear them for
q short time only, during the nesting
$ These beautiful birds freed gener-
ally in companies or 'rookeries, as they
are called, and one of the principal nesting
places was Florida
80 great, however, has been the de-
mand for osprey plumes, by the ladies of
Europe and America, that these heron
rookeries have been nearly destroyed by
professional gunners. As the long and
delicate feathers are only donned during
the breeding season, it is at this time Of
the year that the massacres take place
around the nests.
"'Cannot anything be done, he asks,
ito stop such wicked slaughter
"Yes, there can. The facts can be
driven home. But only good, rousing
sensationaism and not arm chair agita-
ton, can do that. London Journal.

Fxperiments with the Fdelveiss,

The Kolnische Volkszeitung calls at
tention to the experiments which are be-
ing made to make the edelweiss grow
among the Riesengebirge Of Bohemia. 1t
seems that similar experiments have been
for q considerable time in course of trial
in the Eifel, especially among the ruined
castles of Nurburg, not only with edel-
weiss, but also with other rare Alpine
plants. But it is a question whether the
plant is not changing its character and
being transformed, in fact, into a new
species. Such a transformation has &C.

throve, but it has lost its beautiful ermine
like bloom, and is no longer white, but

Sorghum Sugar In Kansas.

The state Of Kansas pays q bounty Of
two cents per pound on all sorghum
sugar manufactured within its limits.
This has led TO an extraordinary increase
In sorghum growing. The Fort Scott
works, with improved cuu pans, has
succeeded in getting 102 pounds Of sugar
and twelve gallons of syrup from a ton
of cane. As ten to fifteen tons of cane
may be grown on an acre, the state
bounty alone pays a fair profit on cost Of
growing. Sorghum seed makes a valu-
able feed for stock. and is a fair substi-
tute for buckwheat TO make flour from
for griddle cakes. Thus the Kansas
farmer may get his bread and have it
sweetened from one plant, besides re-
ceiving something from the state for his
enterprise. Boston Budget.

R.c.. couosrnInx Freight.

It is a singular fact that the total vol
ume of freight over the great trunk lines
a railway from the west has not in
creased since the year 1880. In that year
e amounted to 7,221, S27 tons for the first
eight months of the year. For the same
period this year the freight has amounted
10 1881, $50 tons. The explanation Of
the fact seems to be hat farming in the
west has only extended in the same ratio
with the growth of towns and cities in
that direction, and that the latter con-
sumo the surplus Of products that is
raised over the production of seven years
ago. The west has also embarked more
extensively in manufacturing, which in
creases the local business and supplies the
people with the surplus of goods, for
merly bought in the east, which they
now use over the amount required IN
1881.
An interesting fact in this connection
10 that the freight moving westward from
the great Atlantic cities in 1881 was 2l1.-
064 tons down to Sept. 1, while this
year, to the same date, it has been 21S,-
70S tons, and this is the first season when
the west bound tonnage has equaled that
of ~1SS1.-Boston Budget.

The professions also leave their traces
In the forms of the organs and in the fea-
lures. 1.-The bearing of the soldier, " says
N. Mantegazza- lis precise, stiff and ener-
getic; that of the priest, supple and unct-
nous. The soldier, eveh in civil life, shows
in his movements the habit of obedience
and command; while the priest in a lay
dress wears the mark of the cassock and
the cloth, and his fingers seem all the
time to he blessing or absolving." So
many other professions may be recognized
by their attitudes, but there are limita-
tations in the matter; for physiognomy,
rs u. M~antegazza says. "cannot yet be
considered an exact science, because we
do not yet know all the elements of the
problem. 1t has, nevertheless, its well
established general laws. We are not
likely TO confound a frank physiognomy
with a tricky one, or an honest face with
the face Of a dehauchee or rascal

Card From Mayor Harman.

Editor Ne,cs. Herald BY way of cor
rection of the item contained in the Ga.
sette of last week, which asserted that
Police Officer Stevenson had not given
bond for five years, wish to say that
the statement is not true. Captain Ste
venson has, until the present year, given
bond, as have the other officers appoint.
ed by the Mayor. That he did not file
his bond as required, after his appoint
ment last May, is entirely due to over
sight, and both he and are blamable
to that extent. Captain Stevenson call
ed twice during May on the Solicitor to
procure blank bond which was there
for him, but not finding that officer at
home, the matter was forgotten until
brought to my attention in one of the
Guthrie cases. The Gasette is 30 far JUS
titled in making the assertion-in that
the bonds were not recorded in q book
kept by the Clerk for that purpose, but
informality such % failure to record q
bond could not in any way vitiate the
bond, nor could the officer nor his sure.
ties escape liability by reason Of such
1t is proper also to call attention to
another article contained in the same
issue of the Gazette which ended with
the sweeping assertion that the munici.
pal government was "rotten from center
to circumference" It is not my purpose
to answer the article in question, either
on my own behalf or that of any other
officer, further than to say that the
writer of the article was the victim of
information which could only have been
impaired to him through malice. Since
the publication of the article, the writer
has been corTectly informed, and will
doubtless make such honorable amends
for the statement Is the conscience of q
gentlemen will dictate.
